It took me all of two days to read Written in Red and Murder of Crows, Anne Bishop’s (the author of the high fantasy Black Jewels series) take on the urban fantasy/paranormal genre. Since I can’t stop thinking about the books and I’m not quite ready to leave the world of Lakeside Courtyard and its terra indigene residents, it’s playlist time.
Inspired by Meg Corbyn fiddling with the radio in her office, trying to figure out which music she likes, and the songs that remind her of her world.
1 // written in red // first night in lakeside courtyard
strong // london grammar
Excuse me for a while While I’m wide-eyed And I’m so down caught in the middle
2 // written in red // cs759
my blood // ellie goulding
That feeling that doesn’t go away just did And I walked a thousand miles to prove it And I’m caught in the crossfire of my own thoughts The color of my blood is all I see on the rocks
3 // written in red // simon and sam
wolf // first aid kit
Wolf father, at the door You don’t smile anymore You’re a drifter, shapeshifter Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya
4 // written in red // grandfather and the lakeside courtyard mausoleum
byegone // volcano choir
Laying near the lights Of the knights of the northern lodges There’s a border road No one slip slides or stoppin’ And the neighborly, sleeping in a coffin
5 // written in red // the girl at the lake
winter solstice // cold specks
Sons and daughters, May you kill
6 // written in red // ponies and adventure buddies
swell window // zee avi
I will wait for you, We’ll ride the moment ‘til I catch you again
7 // written in red // hurricane
hurricane // ms mr
Make ash and leave the dust behind Lady diamond in the sky Wild light Glowing bright To guide me When I fall
8 // written in red // harvester of life
thea // goldfrapp
There’s wild in your eyes There’s a light there’s a feeling It’s cruel and its dark in this town Are they mad were we dreaming
9 // written in red // the battle at lakeside courtyard
dirty paws // of monsters and men
And for a while things were cold; They were scared down in their homes. The forest that once was green Was colored black by those killing machines. But she and her furry friends Took down the queen bee and her men And that’s how the story goes, The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.
10 // murder of crows // warmer safer
what if you // joshua radin
But for tonight I’ll stay here with you
11 // murder of crows // ferrymans landing*
lonesome dreams // lord huron
I run through a wooded isle And I chase the sunlight mile after mile And I feel like I know this place As the tree line breaks into wide-open space
12 // murder of crows // jean the cassandra sangue
lessons // s o h n
Of lessons learned, of lessons learned Of bridges burned, of bridges burned This time I’ll do things differently
13 // murder of crows // talulah falls
this isn’t control // ms mr
The gates close the pack shut down They packed up they found another town To replace, to erase
14 // murder of crows // people-shaped wolf cookies
noche nada // givers
And the whole role with who we know yeah And it’s toe to toe the move we show So let go the whole would you know yeah You know it’s gone so here we go
15 // murder of crows // pizza, chocolate & the dimwit’s guide to dating
where the kids are // blondfire
Live it up, you’re growing up Parties in the wilderness of life Light it up, just give it up Where the kids are running free tonight
16 // murder of crows // prophecy on meg’s terms
heartlines // florence and the machine
I’ve seen it in the flights of birds, I’ve seen it in you. The entrails of the animals, The blood running through. But in order to get to the heart, I think sometimes you’ll have to cut through.
17 // murder of crows // meg’s voicemail
set fire to the third bar // snow patrol & martha wainwright
After I have traveled so far We’d set the fire to the third bar We’d share each other like an island Until exhausted, close our eyelids And dreaming, pick up from The last place we left off
* This one is maybe a tad cheaty because Meg doesn’t see Ferrymans Landing in Murder of Crows, but Steve Ferryman and the Intuits clearly needed a happy song.
someone: it’s okay! you tried your best!!
me, with no idea of what my best even looks like anymore:
just like yah yah said lana doesn’t try to sell girl power & im honest to god so grateful for that. she just wants to have orgies on benzodiazepines

What was going on with Billy’s hair in season 3?
Besides Dacre telling them he wanted Billy’s hair to be longer and probably a bigger wig budget – glorious fluff.
Billy grew out his hair and definitely took Steve’s advice on the Farrah Fawcett spray because that is a serious jump in volume.
S3 is much more consistent compared to S2 and while S2 does have the best in-show Billy hair:
neither season can possibly ever compare to H&M’s take on Billy and his mullet:
H&M knows what beach blond curls are and served it to us as our last meal before s3 came for our lives.
Like.
Dayum.
What was the question again? I get so distracted whenever Billy’s hair gets mentioned alsjhsfkjghdsfshda
